Dan Reeves: Finding Strength in Vulnerability and Leadership
Something is working in my life as a result of attaching myself to it
Imagine facing a potential 20-year prison sentence and finding a way to turn your life around completely. That's exactly what Dan Reeves did. On this episode of 'Emerge. Evolve. Lead.', host Maureen Ross Gemme chats with Dan, who transformed his life from a corporate engineer battling alcoholism to a leader in the recovery community. Dan's story begins with his struggle with addiction, which led him down a dark path and nearly cost him his freedom.
But when faced with the possibility of a lengthy incarceration, Dan experienced what he calls 'the gift of desperation'. This pivotal moment led him to turn his life over to a Higher Power and seek genuine change. Instead of serving time behind bars, Dan was given a one-year home incarceration sentence, which provided the structure he needed to get sober. Now, Dan is not only sober but also runs men's retreats and helps others in their recovery journeys.
In this heartfelt conversation, Dan emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and being truly seen by your support group. He believes that by opening up and sharing our struggles, we can receive the support we need to heal and grow. Dan also discusses how changing old limiting beliefs can lead to miraculous changes in our lives. From battling addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others, Dan's journey is a testament to the power of spirituality, community, and leadership.
